Transfer licenses to another location in Apple Business Essentials
Within your organization, you can move licenses from one location to another. You can also transfer licenses, either to consolidate purchases from multiple accounts or to decentralize and distribute licenses to match your organization’s structure. (For example, a location in Apple Business Essentials might represent a building, a department, or a group.)
To transfer licenses in Apps and Books, search for and then select an app in your library. In the details section, you can view the number of available licenses at each location you have access to.
Select Transfer, then in the dialog box enter both the number of licenses (up to 24,999 at a time) and the location where you want to move them. The transfer, which may take a few minutes, is reflected in the number of licenses at the new location. The new number of licenses for the location token is also reflected in your mobile device management (MDM) solution. Check your third-party MDM documentation for the expected behavior.
Note: Transfers won’t disrupt license assignments. Only unassigned licenses can be transferred to another location.
